So after I had removed all the head studs from the case, I noticed a couple had come out real hard, as if something was wrong with the threads. After cleaning the threads of the stud, I couldn't thread them back in the two suspect holes.
I got a 12mmx 1.5tap and chased those holes. Now, the head studs go right in and they wiggle!! Even after I bottom them out, they can be moved relative to where they exit the case. Is the case shot? What did I do wrong? |

They should thread in tight like that. The only time you tap them is when you are installing ARP head studs.

How about getting ARP studs? (And tap the other holes.) That is an expensive option. $329 for just the studs. Yikes. I can't even find a machine shop to put in the threaded inserts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I think I'm going to use the case from one of my core motors. I've already got one down to a short block. |
